Design and Evaluation of Intervehicle Dissemination Protocol for Propagation of Preceding Traffic Information

In this article the authors discuss a specialized protocol called received message-dependent protocol (RMDP) for applications in intervehicle dissemination of information for applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The protocol attempts to automatically adjust the dissemination interval according to reception errors and messages. By combining a traffic simulator as well as an ad hoc network simulator, researchers have constructed a simulation test environment for the RMDP. Upon the simulation testing, researchers found that the protocol worked well under both heavy and light traffic situations as well as in situations where the wireless equipping ratio varies. In addition to intervehicular ad hoc communications, researchers also present the protocol as a means of vehicle-to-wayside communication. RMDP has potential applications for emergency vehicle notification and other sorts of traffic information dissemination.
